If you have kids, we have things to do.

Holiday Open House At The East Tennessee History Center

Cookies and apple cider will warm the day at the ETHS Holiday Open House. Activities include live musical performances, craft demonstrations, ornament and craft making for the kids, storytelling, and frontier toys and stories. Shoppers will enjoy browsing the great selection of traditional gifts, history books, and children’s items, as well as a selection of handmade items. Members will receive a 15% discount on regular priced items.

Visitors are also invited to tour the current feature exhibit, as well as the permanent exhibitionVoices of the Land. All events are free and open to the public.

We are very blessed to have so many great parks in Knox County. Here are two great websites that share all the specifics on our parks. I have found a few parks I didn’t know about, and some facilities that might be perfect for our next birthday party.
